CLUvERIUs.-Mr. Willie Cluverius has
now received in all about twenty favorable
responses to the circular which he sent out
asking members ofthe General Assembly to
urge the Governor to grant the prisoner
reprieve until the two houses meet. Day
before yesterday a man named Collier, of
New York, spiritualist. went to the Jail and
had long talk with Cluverius. During
the conversation he held the prisoners wrist
in his hand. Collier says that from Culver
ius's expression, the action of his muscles,
and the pusations of his wrist during the
interview he believes "he did not murder
the woman, but he knows as much about it
as the man who did, and is equally guilty.

ALEX ANDRIA.
THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6,

MANY OF the acts of the worklngmen OF
this conntrv prove that those men are not
Solomons. But, for all that, there is nothing
to show that they are such GORGEOUS TOOLS
as some of the demagogues must take tnem
to be, from the manner in which they treat
them. Gov. Hill, of New York, for instance,
in order 10 induce them to swell his boom
for the next Presidency, says they should
have holiday all of every Saturday. AS
work is not too plentiful anyhow, and as IL
is natural and patent that no employer VIII
pay six days wages for FIVE days WORK
why the laborers who have work shou!a De
depriyed of one sixth of their wages, Is what
no sensible workman can tell. Most every
BODY in this country has to work; the rlcn
to save what they have, those IN moderate
circumstances to better their condition, ana
the poor to keep from starving. ana as
those who labor with their coats on have to
work every Saturday, there is no good rea'
son why those who labor in thslr shirt
sleeves should not do the same. And THIS
is ss Main to the laborer with common sense
IS to anybody else. No sane man wants 10
work for the sake Of working, and all wonId
like to have holiday every day in the week;
but from the day Of Adam man has had TO
earn his bread by the sweat of his face, and
manv man not only on six days OF the
week, but on six nights and Sunday also
Such transparent demagogism as that Of
Gov. Hill sustains the GAzETTE's idea that
the democracy must look elsewhere than 70

IT Is observed that the river and harbor
bill as prepared by the committee OF the
U. House of Representatives to whom the
preparation of that bill was entrusted, con
tains no appropriation for creeks. The rea-
son OF this is the remarkable one that the
prevailing impression III the West is that a
creek is q stream that can be jumped over,
and the members Of the committee are
afraid of the structures of the Western news
papers should they make appropriations Tor
any streams called creeks. II would be well,
therefore, in future, for people wanting APP
preparations for Virginia creeks larger than
many Western rivers, such as Mattox, Neab-
SEQ, Occoquan. Nomini and other navigable
streams called creeks, to designate them as
rivers, in which case they will probably
have their wishes gratified.
